Arcadia Police Challenge Residents to Drive Distracted...Online

The Arcadia Police Department is encouraging residents to use an online distracted driving simulator to see the dangers of texting while behind the wheel.

The only time it's safe to see what it's like to drive distracted is by doing it online.

The Arcadia Police Department linked to a distracted driving simulator on its blog Wednesday. The game, created by the New York Times, challenges players to change virtual lanes while texting.

April is National Distracted Driver Awareness month and Arcadia police have been cracking down on texting drivers.
